That's very odd, I hope the error doesn't come back! Clutch switch is on all diesel's (if you have a diesel) but I don't think its monitored, will check FR. Its used to artificially limit engine braking, so you don't hit the windscreen when you let off the power, but enables full fuel cut/intake flap closure when you put the clutch in, so the rev falls quickly for smooth gear changes. The ECU doesn't monitor the reverse light switch, its just that, the light switch. The ECU calculates your current gear based on road speed vs RPM, and uses it as part of idle speed calculation and for the Anti-Judder strategy. ME7 that run 1.8T's of the era use the same system to implement load/torque by gear limits as part of their torque model.
There could however have been some odd electrical issue where the partially depressed light switch arcs and causes interference that causes a communication failure.
Whatever it is, its very odd!
